Abstract

In Korea, interest in basic research is growing, in order to ensure the sustainable competitiveness of the main industries and to support world-class technology that can create high added value in the future. However, companies are known to encounter various problems when attempting to market products based on the results of basic research, which is known to be due to their lack of experience of commercialization and related activities. Therefore, in this study, we tried to analyze the effect of the technology commercialization activity stemming from basic science and technology research on the business performance. The technology commercialization activities are divided into experience of commercialization, complete charge department, and consulting on technology commercialization and we developed an analytical model that (distinguishes between?) the technology innovation activities and technology innovation capabilities and analyzed their impact on the business performance. As a result, the importance of technology commercialization activities was confirmed by the fact that it had a positive effect on the business performance, while the technological innovation activity was found to positively affect the management performance, demonstrating that it plays a strategic role in companies. Finally, it was found that the technology innovation capacity partially influences the management performance and that it is necessary to establish a strategic research and development infrastructure.

국내에서는 주력 산업의 지속적인 경쟁력 확보, 고부가가치의 미래 신산업을 창출할 수 있는 세계 일류 기술의 발굴 및 지원이 요구됨에 따라 기초연구에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 하지만 기업이 기초연구의 결과물을 활용하여 사업화하는데 있어서 여러가지 문제점이 나타나고 있는데 이것은 기초연구 결과를 사업화하기 위한 경험 및 관련 활동이 부족하기 때문인 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기초 원천 연구의 기술사업화 활동이 경영성과에 미치는 영향을 분석하고자 하였는데, 기술사업화 활동의 유형을 기술사업화 추진경험, 기술사업화 전담부서, 기술사업화 컨설팅으로 구분하였으며, 기술혁신 활동, 기술혁신 역량을 세분화 한 분석모형을 개발하고 경영성과에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 기술사업화 활동은 경영성과에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타남에 따라 기술사업화 활동의 중요성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 기술혁신 활동의 경우도 경영성과에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 분석되어 기업의 전략적 요소로 그 역할을 파악할 수 있었다. 마지막으로 기술혁신 역량은 경영성과에 부분적으로 영향을 주는 것으로 조사되어 전략적인 연구개발 인프라의 구축이 필요한 것으로 파악되었다.
